Rock Climbing in the Land of Banditos - El Potrero Chico

El Potrero Chico is the "Little Yosemite" of Northern Mexico. Not dissuaded by expressions of concerns by loved ones, Emilie Cortes spent Thanksgiving vacation in the heart of the drug violence. She took precautions while traveling, but had no regrets taking the opportunity to explore this gem. Almost more spectacular than the thousands of feet of former ocean bed limestone that are now jutting vertically into the sky, was the warmth and friendliness of the locals and the climbers hailing from all over the world.
